I don't know if someone lied about this, I'd like to think not to be honest but it's not beyond reason. My own experience of the MOD Civil Service is that there is a lot of left hand v right hand stuff going on. Too many people not communicating or in fact not doing anything which even remotely deviates from their exact TOR's, it infuriates me sometimes and we are supposed to be on the same side. A couple of weeks ago I phoned the same phone in the same office and got two completely different answers to the same bloody question from two guys supposed to be working on the same issue! The worse thing is they are both good blokes both doing a good job, they just don't seem to understand the word team, too much I I am convinced it's something to do with their pay and promotion system, neither wants the other to appear good at his job!!!!!! It wasn't an important issue by any stretch of the imagination however I ended up wasting a lot of time on something which could honestly have been resolved in about 10 seconds....bloody infuriating!!!!!!!! rant over!!!!!!
